The Mail Settings page allows you to configure custom mail servers to use with Portal. You can connect Portal to a mail server via IMAP to use with the Report Phishing Outlook Add-in or to monitor replies from reply-to phishing email templates. You can connect to a mail server via SMTP in order to send Portal system emails or phishing emails from your own mail server.

Incoming Mail Server

On the Mail Settings page, there is a switch labeled "Incoming Mail Server".

Click the switch to reveal the incoming mail server configuration panel. Input the configuration specified by your mail server in order to allow Portal to connect to the inbox. This will allow Portal to read the contents of the mail server. An incoming mail server MUST be configured in order to use the Portal Report Phishing Outlook Add-in.

After configuring the mail server, click "Test IMAP" to verify that Portal can connect to the mail server properly. After connecting click "Save" to save the settings.

Note: Some security configurations may block Portal from connecting to your mail servers. Consult with your software or hardware vendors for help with troubleshooting.

Outgoing Mail Server

On the Mail Settings page, there is a switch labeled "Outgoing Mail Server". Click the switch to reveal the outgoing mail server configuration panel. Input the configuration specified by your mail server in order to allow Portal to connect to the server via SMTP. This will allow Portal to send mail via your mail server.

After configuring the connection to the mail server via SMTP, click "Test SMTP" to verify that Portal can connect to the mail server.

Note: Some security configurations may block Portal from connecting to your mail servers. Consult with your software or hardware vendors for help with troubleshooting.

There are a number of options related to the way Portal can use an outgoing mail server that you configure.
